How does Dante handle redundancy and failover in a network?

To handle redundancy and failover, Dante uses a combination of software and hardware technologies to ensure reliable audio delivery even in the event of network outages or other issues.

One key component of Dante's approach to redundancy and failover is the use of multiple network interfaces on each device. This allows audio to continue flowing even if one network connection fails, as the data can be redirected to the other available interface.

Dante also uses dynamic device discovery and automatic device reconfiguration to quickly identify changes in the network and adjust accordingly. For example, if a Dante device goes offline, the network will automatically detect the change and route audio around the missing device to ensure that the audio stream is not interrupted.

Additionally, Dante supports redundant network topologies, such as ring and mesh, which provide multiple paths for audio data to flow, ensuring that audio can continue to be transmitted even if one part of the network goes down.
